Contractors working under JCT contracts
Variations are where your margin is made — or lost — on JCT contracts.
Instructions come in on site. Notices get issued late or not at all. Valuations sit untracked.
By the time final account comes around, records are incomplete — and you’re forced to accept less than you are owed.
👉 And that usually means lost revenue.
The JCT Variation Control System gives you full control of every variation — so nothing is missed, delayed, or left unvalued.
What it does:
A structured system that tracks every variation from instruction through to agreement. Monitors instructions, notices, valuations, and values so everything is recorded, followed up, and resolved.
Who it is for:
- QS’s managing variations on JCT contracts
- Commercial managers needing full variation visibility
- Site teams tracking instructions and notices
- Contractors using spreadsheets or email trails
